These are both related questions, i.e. what if I want a file that's
already on the client to be copied to the new version's directly w/o
requiring it to be downloaded? The answer is: Jamie's code doesn't
support that. You'll have to add that functionality yourself. Still,
Jamie's code does most of the work (and is very cool!), so adding that
hunk of functionality shouldn't be hard.
